My Story:

“I was born in Cooktown, North Qld. I have lived in Mossman for most of my life. I began to create my art work at Cairns State High School. My teaches suggested that I apply for an Associate Diploma of Art In Cairns. I like doing my traditional art work and my own ideas using my culture. I enjoy different figures with my own kind of detail. I like traditional Aboriginal colours but sometimes I just like to use bright colours. I draw simple figures without too many lines….like cave paintings in Laura area. I also enjoy doing batik for making clothes and screen printing for fabric design.
